Abstract
This paper describes the implementation of PVM-W95 (Parallel Virtual Machine for Windows95), that comprises a message passing environment (similar to the PVM), allowing the creation of a parallel virtual machine by using personal computers (working as workstations in a distributed computing environment), interconnected through a communication network and running the Windows95 operating system. Preliminary studies aiming the validation of PVM-W95 were performed. The results obtained showed that the PVM-W95 behaves stable and the parallel applications developed reached speedups, according to the hardware adopted.
